Session: Differentiation between AI and Human Responses to Research Ethics and Integrity Cases

This seminar explores the impact of AI on academic writing and its implications for teaching and learning in higher education. Drawing on her recent study, Differentiation between AI and Human Responses to Research Ethics and Integrity Cases – Implications for Teaching, the session will examine emerging trends, challenges, and strategies for maintaining academic integrity and fostering originality. Participants will engage in a collaborative exercise using human-authored writing to discuss the value of authentic work and develop practical approaches to guide students in an evolving digital landscape [please bring a human-written text to participate in the collaborative exercise].

Community Conversation: Weaving Justice, Identity, and Sustainability 

Climate action is not just about the environment—it’s about people, equity, and the communities we build together. Join us for a Community Conversation exploring the intersection of sustainability, identity, justice, and community.

Dear Faculty,

The Office of Research & Innovation is pleased to invite you to an upcoming information session on the SSHRC Partnership Suite Grants.

This session will introduce participants to two key funding opportunities from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) designed to support academic-community and academic-industry collaborations:

  • Partnership Engage Grants (PEG): Support short-term, timely research partnerships between postsecondary researchers and a single non-academic organization (community, public, or private sector). Ideal for exploring emerging issues or laying the groundwork for longer-term collaboration.
  • Partnership Development Grants (PDG): Support the development of new research partnerships or the design and testing of partnership approaches. These grants are well-suited for faculty looking to strengthen existing collaborations or establish large-scale, long-term initiatives.

Session Details

This information session will provide:

  • An overview of both funding opportunities.
  • Insights into eligibility, scope, and requirements.
  • Guidance on preparing strong applications.
  • Information on supports available through the Office of Research & Innovation.

Whether you are exploring a new research collaboration or looking to expand an existing one, this session will provide the tools and information you need to get started.

We encourage all faculty members interested in research partnerships to attend.

Office of Research & Innovation
